DIY'ers should be aware of dry and wet torque numbers. usually the given torque is for dry threads, if dealing with oily drain plugs that value can be cut 20% or you'll see why mating aluminum pans and steel plugs weren't the best ideas coming out of Bavaria
BMW does not provide wet or dry torque numbers for their techs. I think you're better off to clean/dry all hardware before reinstalling.
Superb man! I like your thoroughness and explanation on why you did something. Keep up this valuable content for us M car enthusiasts.
fuse 15 blows it time to replace oil sensor car goes into limp mode great vid
Luv the DIY videos 👌
Thank you for video, can you tell (or show, if there is a video) how to change oil temp sensor? My M5 just decided not to show anything :(
Changing the oil temperature sensor is in this video... the temp sensor and level sensor are the same.
Nice job describing the exact tools you used. Please post your results on a video or on the fb page so we can compare!
Just got back from Southern California. The weather there is a BMW enthusiasts dream. How much longer until you get the M5 to San Diego?
Can you please provide a link to the oil on Amazon?

Awesome Ryan. Would you be interested in featuring my Imola e46 M3?
+Greg Anagnostopoulos absolutely!! See e39source.com/participate for full details!
Is "thermal oil level sensor" and "sump oil temperature sensor" the same unit? Both appear faulty on my 530i.
Yes
Good Stuff! But Your engine was rebuilt? I thought you didn't change the pistons and bearings?
I kept the pistons, block, and heads. They were all professionally polished though, so they're as good as new. Every single bearing, bit of hardware, piece of rubber, and internal sensor was replaced as well.
***** gotcha, we are interested to see what your results are when you get them!
Do you know how accurate is oil temp on this engine ? Because there is no oil temp sensor in this car .
The E39 M5 does have an oil temp sensor, built into the level sensor which sits in the bottom of the pan.
Very nice and professional video. I am sure it will be usefull to change the thermal oil sensor on my 530i E39.
Hi how is best option for check oil level? Someone told on cold engine, some on after 5 min when u turn off full worm engine? What Best?
Drive the car until fully warm. Let idle 1 minute. Turn off. Wait 2-5 minutes. Check oil!
Hey bud, you have a fantastic car and a fantastic channel. Can I ask where you got your ramps from to raise the car
Thanks !
Thanks for the feedback! I think these came from Autozone or Wal Mart.
E39Source Here in the UK our equivalent of Wal Mart is Asda. I shall check there but I doubt they stock them. I'll get my hands on a pair very soon ... thanks !
Enjoy your car and keep the content coming .. it's extremely informative and a pleasure to watch
👍🏽
Okay Ryan thanks for the vid as always. Question, my oil drain plug is stripped and I bought a new pan, but can I drain my oil from the level sensor for now so I can put the new one on? I don't have an oil extractor otherwise I would drain from the dip stick.
How i love your videos :) This channel is simply superb!
Now Ryan wanna say that BMW isn't first and last German brand which sells spare parts much more expensively if they put BMW logo on it. For example i can say the same about Mercedes parts. For example thermostat which is made by German company named Wahler costs twice more if it has benz logo and part number on it, also the same story with fuel filters which are made by Mahle, Engine mounts which are made by Lemforder and e.t.c. So it is only marketing because i can't imagine that any well known German spare parts manufacturer will reduce their quality and the parts which have no auto brand logos on it will worst than against the genuine parts are. So, personally i love Genuine parts, but it is senselessly to pay twice more for them .
Thank you for the positive feedback! I consider the OE parts the same as the OEM though, the BMW / Mercedes-Benz logo adds no value of any kind! One must simply determine the original manufacturer and obtain that part.
Beautiful car.
What year is your M5?
Thanks! 2000
would a bmw e39 m5 be more work then a bmw e39 528i
+anthonyk it depends on the condition of both. Parts for the m5 will be more expensive and possibly harder to find than the 528, depending on what it is
ok
Ryan, my 2011 328i has a built-in carbon air filter in the housing compartment, along with the replaceable air filter (e90). I want to cut out this built in carbon filter, but I don't want to adversely effect anything like the sensor or anything else that I might not be aware of. do you happen to know if I can cut that out and be okay? to me it seems like a redundancy, and the more air I can get into the engine, the better (I assume ). keep in mind I still have the replaceable K&N filter in there. Thanks in advance.
I would leave it as it is. Fresh filters are the best filters, removing them can allow lower-quality air into your engine.
nice vid! i have a 530d 2002 e39 51K miles and im getting the 28 thermal sensor for oillevel defect. was that the same fault code you got?
This is a different code than I got. I am not sure about the diesels, but in the US, only the M5 received an oil temperature sensor. I would do some research on that code as it pertains to the diesel cars.
E39Source appreciate it!
Did replacing the sensor fix the problem?
Yes
Hey +E39Source can you do an update video on the 330xi?
I will shortly, this summer.
No driving video.... gotta make one!
Is it necessary to replace the nuts?
No
